Fake Zebra

Players take hidden roles as party guests: most are zebras completing activities, while one or more lions secretly try to sabotage the celebration. At setup, players briefly memorize the positions of face-down activity cards arranged in grids. On a turn, a player reveals cards one by one to try to collect the four matching cards that complete an activity; completed activities are removed, while revealing a different activity advances the clock toward midnight. Free discussion is allowed and lions may bluff to mislead the group. If all activities are completed before the clock reaches twelve, the zebras win; otherwise the group votes to identify a lion, with a correct accusation favouring the zebras and a wrong one handing victory to the lions.
